Hi, first time poster here!

Wanted to share a small CLI utility in Rust: doxxer!

It is a tool for working with Git repositories, more specifically, extracting and calculating current/upcoming semantic versions for your repo's tags.

It is heavily inspired by the output from "git describe --tags".

Why use anything else then? The output is not fully SemVer compliant and therefore I was modifying it in all my projects separately, which I wanted to avoid. Single binary, single predictable output.

It does not currently have pre-built binaries, so you have to install it via cargo, but it's in the roadmap!
